Tim Moore Posted January 31 #1 Posted January 31 Hello there MSW, I’m finally resettled in the Pacific Northwest. I’m missing my custom built model cabin back in Ontario, but to get back in the swing of model building I thought about how much I enjoyed doing that Fiat 806, so have picked up another Italeri kit, the vintage Triumph 3HW motorcycle. It’s been done here before and I enjoyed the fine work by CDW on his rendition. I'm going to start off with some preliminary assembly of the engine and wheels while I wait for some paint and other supplies to make it out our way on Vancouver Island. My general goal will be to add a few custom details, play around with paint effects and weathering, but nothing definite yet. Not sure if I will go with the military look or not. I tend towards an organic approach to my models, which is a fancy way of saying I don’t really know what I’m doing. Think I’ll attempt a wheel spoke rebuild, to add a little finesse, hope not to make a hash of that.

yvesvidal Posted February 1 #4 Posted February 1 (edited) I love that model. Thank you for building it and presenting it to us. Obviously, we cannot build everything and these logs allow us to live vicariously through the world of plastic scale models.

Tim Moore Posted February 1 Author #5 Posted February 1 Thanks Alan, Patrick, Yves and all those who have checked in. It is good to be back modelling after a year of moving and working on the new house. Started on the wheels. There are 20 spokes on each half, making a total of 80 for the two wheels. That means I need 160 holes located with some precision around the 4 hubs and outer rims, so I can knit the wire spokes into the plastic. I made an indent in the hub using a tiny steel awl, then used a 1/64 bit in my dremel. It’s careful work, especially on the two smaller hubs. I then snipped off most of the plastic spokes at the rim, leaving 5 to keep the hubs centred while I go about installing the wire. I left the inner part of the plastic spokes intact for now, they gave me an alignment guide when I drilled the rims in terms of direction of the holes, and will help me get the first wires in the right holes. After I get a few wires in place and the hub is stable, I’ll cut everything away. That’s the theory anyway. I will be using some 0.5mm wire I have for the new spokes. Seems a bit thin perhaps but after looking at photos of real bikes it may be pretty close to scale. Now that I’ve started this and see what’s ahead, I’m considering awarding my bronze medal for modeling insanity to wheel spoke replacement, the gold having already gone to ‘rigging a three masted ship’ and silver to ‘neurosurgery with Pontos microscopic photo etch’. I’ve a feeling Chris Coyle might say the origami paper folding in his card modeling would knock one of those out of the medals, but I’ve never done a card kit. Have to leave the wheels for a bit until supplies arrive next week, as I realize I should paint the rim and hubs before the new spokes go in. So I’ll leave them in abeyance and start on some engine assemblies.

yvesvidal Posted February 1 #6 Posted February 1 (edited) I have used bug pins with success. These are the long and thin pins used to display bugs on boards. Using wire, I do not think you can get anything stiff enough to work. Below is what I did on my Honda CB750 (1/6th scale): Left is the reworked wheel, right is the kit wheel.

Yves Thanks Yves that’s a good solution. I think the wire I have should work, it’s really just thin wire rods.

Tim Moore Posted February 14 Author #10 Posted February 14 Wheel spoking in progress after finally getting my supplies. I’m using 0.5mm wire rods and short stubs of 0.8mm brass tube to create some sort of nipples at the rim. Remnants of the plastic spokes remain to hold the hub on centre and guide me on location and alignment, easy to screw this up otherwise I would think. I’m ignoring the assembly sequence of the model in the directions and have put together all the main components of the frame, so I can paint it distinctly from the body parts. Hopefully I can shoehorn everything on board later on. I’ve sprayed on a base coat of black to begin with.

Thanks Shipman; for the nipples I used some tiny brass tube that is 0.6mm inside diameter, which just fits around the 0.5mm wire rods I’m using for spokes. Basically after drilling the holes in the hub and rim, I cut a length of wire rod, bend the end to go through the hole in the hub, and then slide the brass rod down the outside end of wire, through the rim, apply a dab of CA to fix it, and then cut off the excess rod and tube outside the rim. shipman, Old Collingwood, Canute and 1 other 3 1 Quote Tim Moore Perfect is the enemy of good In progress DH.9a Ninak, 1/32, Wingnut Wings Docked for Repairs IJN Pre-Dreadnought Battleship Mikasa, 1:200, Hobby Boss On Deck The Blue Sky Company, 1:48, Sierra West Models Completed Triumph 3HW, 1/9, Italeri; Fiat 806 Grand Prix 1:12, Italeri; Fifie 1:32, Amati Victory Model; HMS Bounty 1:48, Artesania Latina; Endeavour 1:60; Corel; Miss Severn 1:8, Legend Model Boats; Calypso, Billing Boats; Carmen Fishing Trawler, A.L. ; Dallas Revenue Cutter, A.L., Bluenose, A.L.
Tim Moore Posted February 19 Author #19 Posted February 19 One wheel assembly completed with the 40 steel spokes…should add interest to the model. Replaced the inflation nipple with a bit of leftover brass from Mikasa, and painted the spoke nipples around the rim. They looked kind of cool left as brass but I think painted is a probably a little more realistic. Overall I’m quite happy with the outcome as opposed to the plastic version. gsdpic, Charter33, Jack12477 and 17 others 14 6 Quote Tim Moore Perfect is the enemy of good In progress DH.9a Ninak, 1/32, Wingnut Wings Docked for Repairs IJN Pre-Dreadnought Battleship Mikasa, 1:200, Hobby Boss On Deck The Blue Sky Company, 1:48, Sierra West Models Completed Triumph 3HW, 1/9, Italeri; Fiat 806 Grand Prix 1:12, Italeri; Fifie 1:32, Amati Victory Model; HMS Bounty 1:48, Artesania Latina; Endeavour 1:60; Corel; Miss Severn 1:8, Legend Model Boats; Calypso, Billing Boats; Carmen Fishing Trawler, A.L. ; Dallas Revenue Cutter, A.L., Bluenose, A.L.

Tim Moore Posted May 4 Author #25 Posted May 4 Ok after a disgraceful delay due to work priorities I finally have gotten back to the Triumph and remembered what I was doing. I now have two very nice looking wire spoked wheels. The method of leaving a few plastic spokes in place and working your way around the wheel replacing them worked very well, the final wheel remained true and the hub centred. You have to take a little care to keep the correct spoke pattern, but not that difficult once you get your sequence going. One key piece of advice I would have is to make sure the two wheel rim sides are strongly welded together using CA before trying to mount the rubber. Learned that the usual hard way. I assembled all the frame tubing and airbrushed it a metallic black, followed by a satin spray to dull it down a bit. I’ll probably do the body components another colour. Mounted the engine, will add some more finish detail with it in place.
